Gut health and gastro issues

PatriceQ929212 — Fri, 14 Nov 2025 21:14:42 GMT

Does anyone have any tips for reducing the likelihood surgery to repair hernias? I have a hiatal hernia and gallstones and probably an epigastric hernia as well. It certainly might come to surgery, but I don't know anyone who has had it. Any success stories? Any alternatives to surgery? I am not talking about occasional GERD or small hernias, but larger, more complicated gut issues.

What did your doc say? As far as I know hiatal hernias don’t resolve on their own. A sliding hiatal hernia can slide as the name implies, but it’s always there. Never heard of a hernia resolving by itself

Just checking in with you. How’s it going? Any luck with this yet?
